Me with my headphones in, on my last day on Earth… 😬

How many unskippable ads before I can watch a 3-minute video?

If it’s less than 2, I’m sold!

Yes, but at least the old boss cared more about money and shareholder value than political statements…

Lemme be real here: I do not make it a habit to go places where there are rattlesnakes. As far as I’m concerned, I spent a lot of money on my house, and see little reason for leaving it, least of all for places far from EMT support.

I was just noting that my city-smarts-only self would be the one having a “let me go find myself with a hike” moment and absolutely get bit because it never occurred to me to leave the headphones at home so that I could hear the rattlesnakes.

The fact that these decisions are coming down from the ex-CEO of EA Games, who was the CEO when EA was voted “Worst Company in the World”, just makes all this even more entertaining to watch.

GamePass and probably most cheap sales are all going up in flames because Unity has hired a demon to lead them into oblivion.

The Second Lady had planned to visit the Danish territory this week alongside other senior US government figures in a visit that had been described as a “provocation” by Greenland’s acting head of government Mute Egede. 

It was later announced that JD Vance would be joining his wife on the visit, which was set to come after months of the Trump administration voicing their desire to take over the territory.

Usha Vance had been set to spend several days in Greenland on a “cultural visit.”

However, changes were subsequently made to the trip, which the White House confirmed on Tuesday would only involve the Vances visiting the US Pituffik Space Base, on the north-western coast.

Now, Danish broadcaster TV2 has reported that part of Mrs Vance’s visit to the capital of Nuuk was cancelled after US representatives failed to find any locals who wanted to greet the Second Lady.

Seriously though, why would anyone think this was a good idea in the first place? First off, I didn’t even know the “Second Lady” really did anything like this kind of stuff at all, and secondly, why would locals care about someone who is essential a random foreigner coming to pave the way for chaos?

She’s not Princess Diana. Five years ago, her husband was a certified nobody and now they want to drum up flowers and cheers from locals in another country for the wife of someone who is a half-step from being just some random NPC?

No.

No, no, no, no, no!

Is she looking at Feinstein and thinking “well, I don’t need to be propped up yet, so I should still be able to run the country!”

I don’t care on which side of the aisle these oldies sit. They do not represent the will of a people who are largely younger than they are by two decades.

I went to McD’s a week ago for an Egg McMuffin meal with an extra hash brown and a large Coke for the drink: $15.00. Less than 2 years ago, this exact meal was like $5.

I hope they go down in flames at this point.

Why? So they can get that coveted “Overwhelmingly Negative” rank on Steam like they have elsewhere?

I’ve seen this 100 times and it’s made me crack up 100 times.

“More recently, you have described our DMA compliance as ‘hot garbage,’ a ‘horror show,’ and a ‘devious new instance of Malicious Compliance.’ And you have complained about what you called ‘Junk Fees’ and ‘Apple taxes.”

I’m sorry, but this exchange is just plain hilarious to me. 🤣 It reads like a recording between a couple going through an acrimonious divorce.

There is zero rationality behind the decision, especially given that it’s retroactive and there’s no language in their decision that handles unique user versus multiple users versus multiple accounts.

I’ve had two gaming PCs over the last ten years. On my last one, I replaced the hard drive twice, and I’m on my second hard drive on the newest one. With each hard drive replacement, I’ve had to reinstall all my games. I’m not paying for all of them again with each install but just getting the same files off Steam and installing again. According to this decision, the devs of these games would have had to pay Unity four extra times just due to my hardware upgrades. How is that on the developer at all, and Lord help us if Unity tries to run some BS where players have to pay for each new installation.

The entire gaming industry, even from the “disc era”, doesn’t work with a cost per install model.

Child endangerment is the Jedi way.

That’s why they are given laser swords that can cut through anything at age six!

This is the most important part of this whole “we did it, Reddit” moment.

This is entirely a PR move and not actually going to do anything.

The moment you mention the Terminal, it’s a wrap for most users.

That said, Ubuntu is at a point where you could almost entirely avoid the Terminal if you wanted. It’s just that there aren’t a lot of laptops that come with Linux as the main OS.

This is a bad idea. As someone comes from a “Honda family”, I drive a Honda because I don’t want a Nissan.

This feels like the quality of Hondas get to drop while the cost of Nissans get to jump. I fail to see how this benefits anyone.

My Jellyfin just quivered…

The fact that a Delaware judge made this ruling just highlights how egregious this package was.
